Usenet is almost dead but e-mail lists abound (you are using one).
Same concepts.
I know, but my point was, since we all use email to read email lists,
let's get off the old usenet etiquette, and use email etiquette, which
you will find yourself in the very minute minority that replies bottom
post.
There is business email where you reply immediately and expect the
recipient to remember the context he sent so top-posting works and
internet email where you reply when you get around to it and most of the
readers aren't going to remember any context so top-posting doesn't work.
I just wish I could configure my outlook ...
Configure it? Don't you know how to move the cursor? The point is that
you are supposed to delete the irrelevant context as you move down,
replying underneath the parts you leave so it lands it the right place
conversation-wise.
